    Justin Bellware on Client Education and Building Managed AI Agents

    How do you turn your experience into a useful managed AI service? Justin Bellware joins Nick Vasilescu on Agent Operators to explain how he approaches that question. They discuss improving business workflows with AI, why Justin moved client education earlier in the process, and how he starts with a Revenue Partner agent before developing more specialized workflows. Justin describes four areas he considers: outbound, existing relationships and CRM, one-to-many opportunities, and content distribution. He also walks through an email workflow that combines a campaign charter with writing, formatting, and editorial checks. The conversation returns to the judgment behind the system: choosing the work, explaining what good looks like, and helping a business owner use the tools. Topics: • Education as part of onboarding • Choosing a business priority before expanding the build • The Revenue Partner approach • Campaign instructions and quality checks • Packaging your operating experience into workflows • Learning through hands-on experimentation Guest resources: Your AI Guy: https://www.skool.com/your-ai-guy True Revenue Partnerships: https://truerevenuepartnerships.com/ Revenue Partner Agent repository: https://github.com/jbellsolutions/revenue-partner-agent Watch the 22:34 conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-JLIQ1wXw Host: Nick Vasilescu Guest: Justin Bellware

    Corey Ganim on AI Anxiety, Business Value, and Building a Brand

    How do you decide what to do with AI when every week brings another tool to try? Corey Ganim joins Orgo CEO Spencer Kinney for a conversation about the pressure to keep up, finding practical business value, and building a brand around work you understand. Corey shares his filter for applying AI in a business: make more money, save time, or improve the quality of the product or service. He also explains why he likes testing ideas through concise writing on X before expanding them into other formats, and which skills carried over from his years in e-commerce to AI consulting. The conversation ranges beyond current workflows into Corey's predictions about voice-first assistants and managing agents, his views on college, and his longer-term business and investing goals.

    He Made AI Agents Work as a Team — with Jason Myers

    If you run an AI agency, you know the awkward part: the agents can do the work, but you still end up being the human copy-paste layer between them. Jason Myers of AppLayer joins me to show how Tango gives agents a shared task list, clear ownership, approvals, and an audit trail so an actual team can deliver client work. We walk through a live Hermes-to-Tango workflow, task decomposition, worker identities, leases that prevent duplicate work, stalled-task failover, and what happens when agents need a real computer. Then I show how Orgo lets you see and control those cloud computers when the work leaves a chat window.

    Your AI Agent Needs a Phone Number

    Your clients already know how to text. What changes when their AI agent has its own phone number? In Episode 2 of Agent Operators, I sit down with Manav Modi, CEO and co-founder of AgentPhone, to talk about iMessage agents, AI voice calling, and the opportunity for agencies building managed AI employees. Manav shows a live iMessage exchange and reactions. We discuss connecting Hermes and OpenClaw agents to a phone number, sharing business files, and giving a business an AI employee that customers and vendors can reach. We also explore the future of agent-to-agent communication and why we think agencies can keep winning by building for specific industries and workflows.

    Don’t Sell AI Agents for $5K/Month, Earn Equity Instead

Corey Ganim is exploring a bigger model: install AI agents and growth systems, then earn equity based on the upside you create.In Episode 1 of Agent Operators, Nick Vasilescu and Corey break down the AI agents already running inside his business, the difference between Grok Bot and Hermes Agent, and three ways to monetize AI agents: AI Concierge, fully managed agents, and performance-based partnerships.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN• When to use Grok Bot versus Hermes Agent• How Corey’s sales inquiry agent identifies leads and drafts replies• Why persistent memory and a “second brain” matter• How to deploy and manage AI agents for clients• AI Concierge versus fully managed-agent services• How operators can charge $3K–$5K per month per managed agent• Why Corey is considering equity instead of implementation fees• What makes a business suitable for an equity-aligned growth partnership• The CRM, agent and growth stack Corey plans to install• Why missing business systems may be a better niche than a specific industryCHAPTERS00:00 What you’ll learn01:06 Where to start with AI agents02:00 Grok Bot vs. Hermes Agent05:02 Building agents that drive revenue06:00 Corey’s automated sales inquiry agent08:00 Why persistent memory matters10:00 The managed-agent delivery problem11:00 Managing client agents with Orgo12:48 Managed agents vs. AI Concierge15:00 The $3K–$5K monthly model16:05 Why Corey wants to own the upside18:01 Earning equity through performance19:00 Corey’s first growth-partner opportunity22:00 Choosing the right AI business model23:01 The growth-operator technology stack24:08 Seedly CRM, Claude Code and Codex24:45 Building a speed-to-lead agent26:00 Scaling reusable agent systems27:00 A better way to choose your niche28:28 Where to find CoreyTRY ORGO WITH COREY’S OFFERUse code COREY to get your first 3 days of Orgo free and 20% off your first 3 months:https://www.orgo.ai/?r=COREYDisclosure: The link above is a referral link.FIND COREY GANIMWebsite: https://www.coreyganim.com/Build With AI podcast: https://www.coreyganim.com/podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coreyganimX: https://x.com/coreyganimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreyganim/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreyganim/AI Operator Academy: https://www.skool.com/aioperatoracademy/aboutFIND NICK + ORGOOrgo: https://www.orgo.ai/Nick on X: https://x.com/nickvasilesNick on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nickvasilesRESOURCES MENTIONEDHermes Agent: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/Grok Bot: https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-botOpenClaw: https://openclaw.ai/Claude Cowork: https://claude.com/product/coworkClaude Code: https://claude.com/product/claude-codeOpenAI Codex: https://openai.com/codex/Seedly CRM: https://seedlycrm.com/HighLevel: https://www.gohighlevel.com/Slack: https://slack.com/Google Business Profile: https://www.google.com/business/This conversation is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal, financial or investment advice.
